Epigenetics of the Soul

Flying Raven Witch by Sergei Chudanov

I know I’m being provocative with the title. Epigenetics is the study of the influence of environment on the expression of our genes. Epi is the Greek word for ON or ABOVE. And I am using soul to designate the essence of who we truly are. Thus I want talk about the environmental conditions that shape up, that makes us into us. If I was born into a different economic, cultural, or/and social situation, would I still be me? Or would I be some different version of me?
